There is an invisible thread connecting the covers of this edition. Carmen Kass's cover was photographed 11 years ago in Lisbon, when she received the International Model of the Year award at the GQ MotY Awards, and has remained unpublished until today. João Baião's cover was shot days before we closed this magazine, although the idea had been around for a long time. Two sessions separated by years, but united by the same desire: to celebrate those who continue to inspire, with authenticity and presence, long after the lights go out.
